What is i-FAX?

The i-FAX function sends and receives faxes via the Internet without using a phone line.
The main features of i-FAX are:
• It reduces communication costs since it does not use a phone line.
• Address books (on this machine or on a computer) can be used to specify destinations.
• Faxes can be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously.
• Memory forwarding can be used to forward faxes received by this machine to multiple recipients as Internet faxes.

• E-mail notification of transmission results
• Direct SMTP is supported, which enables direct communication (without going through a mail server) with a machine
that supports Internet fax and is connected via LAN. Real time transmission and reception are possible.
